My passion for early childhood goes beyond just working with children at my Head Start Program, I love children and helping them be successful in their education path, but most of all I want to make a difference in every child’s life including those from around the world. There are many organizations I support and like what they stand for, but most of all they help all the children of the world. Some of the organizations I like are the UNICEF, United Nations Children’s Fund, and Save the Children. As I was exploring their websites I found several job opportunities I would be interested in applying for if I was able to work around the world to help better children. Listed below were the job listings that caught my attention.

Stacy,
I’m not sure about you, but it was not easy to find positions that I was qualified for with international organizations. My lack of knowledge of a second language puts me at a disadvantage. But, I did find it interesting about the different jobs available around the world. I thought, for a moment, how great it would be to travel the world and share my passion for early childhood. Thanks for sharing!
